A Masterpiece

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 24, 2024 by Chris They say that nothing is perfect; I say, if God has His hand in it, perfection is possible! "The Lark" is a true masterpiece and God placed in the mind of this composer and the hands of Jascha Heifetz a means to perfection! RTI did a great job on this one!

poorly engineered

3 Stars
Posted Friday, August 12, 2022 by Anonymous The album could've been a wonderful reproduction of a great performance, and the voices are very clear; however, the engineers botched this one by placing the grooves too close together, consequently there is a post-echo in every track of a recitative (in the left channel, with the post echo in the right channel), which is very audible and very disturbing. The post-echo also shows up every time the first chorus (in the left channel) sings.

Worth the wait for the repress!!

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, July 9, 2022 by A. Wint A truly worthwhile audiophile classic and great performances of these Classical favorites. Analogue Productions is at the top of their game...the pressing is almost mastertape quiet and flat! The quality of presentation is on par with Impex and Intervention. Keep 'em coming. Pick this up before it goes out of stock again!

Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Speakers Corner (Deutsche Grammophon)

Fantastic Pressing

5 Stars
Posted Friday, April 23, 2021 by ETKirsch I put this release on immediately after listening to another DG record and was really struck by the superiority of this release. Which got me wondering "why is this DG release so much better than the other DG release?" The answer: this is a third party reissue of a DG recording by Speakers Corner and boy, do they nail it.

Terrific imaging and sound stage, very little background noise, a great example of how beautiful vinyl can sound when properly manufactured. Also love Gulda's performance. Highly recommended.

Very poor audio quality

Posted Monday, January 11, 2021 by Mark The performance is wonderful, however, this digital pressing does not even rank on the James A. Mitchell audio stereo fidelity scale. The quality is muddy and muffled. I was sorely disappointed

Nathan Milstein - Masterpieces For Violin And Orchestra/ Susskind

Product No: AAPC 8528
Available: InStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Analogue Productions

Stunning!

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, September 17, 2020 by Mark This is one of the lesser-known jewels in the AP crown of fine classical reissues. Milstein is standing right in front of you. There were many superb Capitol classical issues, both musically and sonically, but I have never found a decent original pressing. So it's wonderful to have this exemplary reissue. More please......!!!!

Stokowski Magic!

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, September 17, 2020 by Mark One of the lesser-known Living Stereos, but in this stellar reissue the Stokowski magic comes to life. This is a stunning recording, beautifully enhanced in this immaculate reissue. When the chorus steals in during the Tannhauser Venusberg music it is breathtaking. Buy it!

Great performance

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, May 14, 2020 by Mike I give this 5 stars for performance, timbre and enormous dynamics. I wish it had a little less background noise (even if it is an analogue recording) or is this surface noise, hence only 4 stars on hardware. My copy has a lot of statics also. But performance actually makes you ignore these side effects.

Viktoria Mullova - Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos/ Sir Neville Mariner

Product No: APHI 43136
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Analogphonic (Philips)

Wonderful Mullova recording

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, February 26, 2020 by EricL This is the first release on vinyl of this recording of Mendelssohn's two violin concerts. Mullova recorded these with Sir Neville Marriner in 1990 in London. Though the recording is digital, it has plenty of warmth. If fact, it's one of the best sounding recordings of these works that I possess. Mullova's violin sound, very prominent , but not overbearing, is wonderfully wrought. So too is the sound of the orchestra. Though the highlight here is obviously the E minor concerto which Mullova skillfully executes, so too, is the D Minor Concerto enjoyable, one written by the composer at age 13! And the sound here is even more involving with Mullova slightly left of center and the lower strings on the right playing their hearts out.

The German pressing is flat, centered and perfectly quiet. When I listened to this recording late last night, I marveled that there were times like this that vinyl can sound so entrancing, so lovely and so believable

Ida Haendel and Sir Adrian Boult - Elgar: Violin Concerto

Product No: AEMI 3598
Available: InStock
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: EMI Testament

Fantastic performance and excellent (for EMI) sound

5 Stars
Posted Friday, November 15, 2019 by Jonathan This is my favourite performance of the Elgar Concerto. Whereas most performers (including modern ones) want to ram this concerto down your throat in the quickest possible time, this performance is far more measured and introspective. Haendel has the ability to express her musical ideas so as to reinforce the composer's intent rather than indulge in fancy self-indulgent showmanship and the histrionics typical of the modern generation. Her actual sound is very easy on the ear as well - something I cannot say for most modern players. The sound on this disc is top-drawer late analogue era EMI. Meaning not up to Decca standards but still very good and very listenable - with perhaps just some typical late-EMI era analogue bloom and a lack of inner detail in relative terms. The violinist is admirably well balanced relative to the orchestra (again, meaning not overblown). My particular disc bought from Acoustic Sounds was flawless.

Sumptuous!

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, April 14, 2019 by Anonymous I didn't realize before I got this album that I am a big Heifetz fan, but I am! His playing is quite masterful, with exquisite sensitivity and nuance. Audio quality is the finest, as we now expect from AP.
